| | Cessna 172 Skyhawk - Aircraft History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing airplane. |
 | | The 172 was a direct descendant of the Cessna 170, which used conventional (taildragger) landing gear instead of tricycle gear. |
 | | The Skyhawk is part of a large family of high-wing, tricycle-gear, single-engine Cessna planes, ranging from the two-seater 150/152 (no longer in production) to the more powerful 182 Skylane, the six-seat 206 Stationair, and the fourteen-seat turboprop 208 Caravan, along with several other models no longer produced. |
